WHAT IS SALA SUJIPULI?

SALA SUJIPULI is a project aiming to create sustainable lifelong learning opportunities that nurture youth empowerment by providing educational, recreational, and cultural resources and activities for children aged 4 to 15.

In Laos, there are still very few centers that provide children with a supportive environment to learn outside of school time. Therefore, SALA SUJIPULI aims to offer an alternative learning space where children can spend their time before, during, and after school to interact with others and be exposed to a wide range of new experiences.

SALA SUJIPULI’s specific objective is to develop children’s reading ability—primarily in their mother tongue—as well as to strengthen language competence, research skills, critical thinking, and creativity through a variety of educational and cultural activities.

After five years of experience and development through SALA SUJIPULI, we are proud to expand our mission with the creation of PASOM PASAN, a new center based in Luang Prabang dedicated to youth and young adults. While SALA SUJIPULI focuses on literacy and early learning, PASOM PASAN builds on these foundations by offering training in arts, crafts, and cultural skills, supporting young people as they grow into creative and skilled individuals.

Several cultural and non-formal educational activities are offered on a daily basis across both centers, such as Lao literature, storytelling, traditional games, arts and crafts, and hands-on artisanal training. Through these activities, SALA SUJIPULI and PASOM PASAN aim to create meaningful learning environments that encourage curiosity, creativity, cultural pride, and community engagement.

Activities at SALA SUJIPULI and PASOM PASAN are based on the following principles:
